Diesel Engines for Distributed Power Generation

At the same time, our diesel engines are able to convince in terms of efficiency with low operating costs that come from long maintenance intervals and efficient, fuel-optimized operation while fulfilling emissions regulations as well.

That’s why clients around the world rely on MTU diesel engines, which they use as genset drive systems for hospitals, data centers, airports, office complexes, shopping centers and industrial facilities as well as public utilities, hotels or casinos.

With the reliable and proven MTU gendrive engines, you profit from over 100 years of experience in the production of drive systems for diesel gensets. Thanks to their compact dimensions, our engines are easily integrated into power generators. Covering a performance spectrum of between 249 to 3,490 kW, they are ideal for use in emergency, base load and peak load gensets (prime/standby power: 50/60 Hz).

This comes from, amongst other factors, the high constant duty capabilities even under frequently changing loads, high starting reliability and availability as well as the high specific power outputs of our drive systems.

For peak performance, longer life and optimized costs, rely on MTU ValueCare—the only service portfolio designed specifically with your equipment in mind.
